Quinshon Judkins might be in a good spot in Week 3 against Carolina, and he's worth starting as a No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues. This should be Judkins' best game of the year. It's been a rough start to the season for Judkins, who has scored 9.8 PPR points or less in each of his first two games against Jacksonville and Tampa Bay.
He's only averaging 2.2 yards per carry, and his best run was 9 yards against the Buccaneers. I like that Judkins had five catches for 27 yards on five targets in Week 2 in the first game without Dylan Sampson (knee), and hopefully that continues moving forward. And I'm excited to see what Judkins can do in his Week 3 matchup with the Panthers.
Carolina is No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, mostly because of what D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai did in Week 1. The Bears duo combined for 28 carries for 224 yards and four touchdowns and three catches for 33 yards on three targets. Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson Jr. didn't have as much success in Week 2, but the Falcons duo still combined for 27 carries for 123 yards and five catches for 25 yards on six targets.
Panthers linebacker Devin Lloyd (calf) is out for Week 3, and that bodes well for Judkins. He's not a safe start, but that's why he's listed here. The matchup is encouraging, especially with Lloyd injured, and Judkins has top-20 upside in all leagues for Week 3.
Now, here are some other sleepers that I like for Week 3. QB: Jacoby Brissett (at SF) $6,800 RB: Christian McCaffrey (vs. ARI) $8,900 RB: Kenneth Walker III (at MIA) $8.300 WR: Ladd McConkey (at BUF) $6,300 WR: Josh Downs (vs.
HOU) $6,100 WR: Devaughn Vele (vs. LV) $5,700 TE: Trey McBride (at SF) $7,300 FLEX: Chuba Hubbard (at CLE) $6,700 DEF: Bengals (vs. PIT) $3,600 I like this stack of Brissett and McBride, who has 17 catches for 136 yards and two touchdowns on 23 targets in two games against the Chargers and Seahawks.
